Hey everyone!
I talk a lot about raising vibration in my posts. I feel like it is one of the reasons that I was put on Earth; to raise my own vibration, which allows me to spread big love to others and it raises their vibration, ultimately, raising the planet’s! Yeah! Love that! I try to do this on a daily basis through my blog, my yoga practice, the music I listen to, my behaviors, my interactions with people, what I put in my body, my sleep, my thoughts, my meditation practice…everything! I am either in vibration at a high or a low frequency. And, depending on which state I am in, I will attract those high or low level experiences. But, what happens when I walk into situations where I feel powerless over the energies around me and I encounter a bunch of low vibrations? For example, everyday, I either go to work, my internship, out to eat, to school, to a yoga class, the mall, a park or even my own house. All of these places hold their own vibrations, as do the people within them. Depending on where I am at, it can be easy to get knocked off that high vibrational kick if others are spinning around me. Or, it can be easy for me to absorb someone else’s energy and carry it around. Have you ever gone into a store, a job, or wherever and started the day off feeling groovy and light, but then leave feeling depleted of energy or weighed down? Sure, because it is possible to sync up with another person or place’s vibration and get shifted. The world is at the highest vibration that it has ever been at, and so, right now, more than ever, it is important to manage our own energy, which can be tricky at times. I will share with you some of the things I use to keep my energy high, protected and lovely!

1: Send Love
Sometimes, when I am en route somewhere, I will have the thought to send the place that I am going or the room(s) that I will be spending time in some love. I know, I know… But stay with me. Where thoughts go, energy goes. And yes, we have the ability to think loving thoughts and send people, places or things these loving thoughts and affect the vibration of it. Therefore, I do this. I say something like, “I fill this space with love and light” or “I send love to the heart of this person right now and I envelope them in loving light.” I imagine the building, room, space or person just filling up with light. When I do this, my thoughts get lighter, my body relaxes and my heart feels alive. I raise my vibration and whatever space or person that I am shooting love to raises, as well.2: Take Frequent Light Baths
This is a simple vision or short meditation that you can do just about anywhere. It can last as short as one minute or as long as you’d like. I just started taking light baths recently when I saw Gabrielle Bernstein introduce it at one of her fabulous workshops a couple of weekends ago. I like to use this first thing in the morning, before going to bed at night and then if a funky situation comes up in the middle of my day, it is also nice. I close my eyes. Sometimes, I will lay down or sometimes, I will just sit. I start to imagine that I am getting rained on with these beautiful raindrops of light…just raining, raining, raining down all over me. It’s beautiful and I am completely coated with a beautiful glowing light that leaves me feeling cleansed and protected. Stay calm & take a light bath!3: Move
Movement is depression’s worst enemy; I have said this before and I believe in it! So, when I feel a depletion of energy or I am around funky energy and low vibrational individuals, then I will get up and move. Sometimes this means that I take a walk outside and breathe in the fresh air and feel the sun on my skin. It could mean that I make a phone call to a friend and I move my mouth and release the stagnant energy through my words. It could be that I grab a bite to eat and I fill my tummy and engage my digestive system a little. Anything to get my cells dancing and out of the lower vibration that makes me feel heavy.4: Keep Special Things with Good Vibration Around
Everything has vibration; I have already said this. There are some things that I have that make me feel extra lovely when I am holding them or they are in my presence. For example, I really dig energy stones; I like to meditate with them, hold them when I am stressing or just keep them nearby. My favorite stones that I have been working with lately are pink opal, lepidolite and rose quartz. I also have other little tokens that have a grounding effect or the ability to clear unsporting thoughts or energy. It can be anything that does this for you, too. I find myself attracted to certain jewelry, mala necklaces, articles of clothing, books or even incense. Whatever speaks to you, let it be with you!

I have two gluten free/vegan recipes for you today! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

My first recipe is…

Quinoa-Kale-Garbanzo Bean Bowl:

You will need:
1/2 cup quinoa (prepared according to cooking directions)
1/2 cup garbanzo beans, drained
A nice handful of kale torn up
Thyme, to taste
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste

To Prepare:
Prepare the quinoa. Add in the garbanzos beans and kale. Then sprinkle in the thyme, salt & pepper. It is that simple! Add as a side dish or serve as a complete meal! Yum!

In a pan or squat dish, cover it with parchment paper. Prepare the crust first by mixing together all the ingredients in a food processor. Then put the crust ingredients on the parchment paper to create the bottom later, pressing down and around the sides to form like a rectangle or square shape. Place crust in fridge. Then, mix together all the green filling ingredients until pretty smooth. Slowly add the filling on top of th crust, evening it out. Place in fridge. Then, prepare the chocolate layer by mixing the ingredients together; you may need to melt the coconut oil a little so it is softened. Then, add the chocolate on top of the green layer. Then place bars in the freezer for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove bars from freezer and cut into squares of your liking. Place the bars back in the FRIDGE to set up the rest of the way. Serve after maybe 30 minutes more in the fridge. Enjoy!
